Hi, I'm Abhishek Garg
Software Engineer
Results-driven Software Engineer with over 5+ years of experience in architecting and optimizing high-performance web applications.
About Me
I'm a passionate Software Engineer with specialized expertise in React.js, Next.js, Node.js, and Golang.
I focus on building performant, maintainable web applications and the backend services that support them. On the frontend, I work extensively with complex state management, real-time data updates, and UI architectures designed to scale. On the backend, I build and maintain Golang services and APIs that handle data processing, system integrations, and reliability-critical workflows.
I’ve worked on production systems at multiple organizations, contributing to applications used at scale and operating in regulated environments. These roles have given me hands-on experience with real-time systems, external integrations, and the practical challenges of maintaining software in production.
I enjoy solving non-trivial engineering problems, improving system performance, and working close to real-world constraints. I’m particularly interested in roles where frontend performance and backend correctness are equally important, and where engineering decisions have a clear impact on the product.
